Chapter 30 - Final Goodbyes
Nina's POV
The limo pulled up as we walked outside, me and Eddie hand in hand. We finally made up after last night, much to Amber's joy. Patricia hugged the three of us, lingering on Eddie the longest. I saw Mick tense up a little then relax when they moved apart. Someone has a crush! I mentally reminded myself to tell Amber. The girls finished their farewells first, Amber and Mara in tears. Then the boys - who didn't really care that Jen was leaving, mainly Eddie and me. Victor gave us awkward pats on our heads that we instantly wiped off as soon as he left our sight. Trudy gave us each a batch of cookies for the trip and the gang gifted us the scrap books. A horn tooted, signalling to us that it was time. I had kept the waterworks off for now, but what about on the ride there? I smiled to the guys one last time before stepping into the dark vehicle. Eddie by my side and Jen looking at us two sympathetically. I looked at through the tinted windows, everyone giving one last wave, before going back inside. Finally, I was leaving. Finally, this was goodbye.
A few stray drops filled up my eyes that I instantly wiped away. Two years full of mysteries, Rufus and the elixir and the third everyone found out, nothing else could beat that. On the way to the airport, I looked at the scenery taking in everything. I would never see this as I used too. We arrived in the middle of the runway of private jets and with help carried our cases and boarded the plane, making ourselves as comfortable as possible. Eddie kissed me softly saying 'It'll be fine, we're together at least'. I smiled and sunk down in my leather seat. I felt the airplane airborne and drifted off into a dreamless world.
I was woken to a scream. My eyes flashed open to see the flight attendant grabbed by the throat and tied down to a chair. I followed the strangling hand to the man and noticed his features were exactly like... Rufus. I silently stood up, not daring to make a sound while Jen and Eddie were soundlessly sleeping with ease. I crept behind him and my hands gripped his shoulders as hard as I could, making him scream in agony and letting the blue uniformed go. But instead of running the lady laughed and advanced on me while I was trying to hurt Rufus. My hands fell loose, Rufus taking advantage of the situation. He grabbed my hands and covered my mouth while the insane woman came closer with a injection. I struggled and resulted in the psycho man getting a pen knife put. He gently pressed it on my foot and elegantly dragged it up to my knee, leaving a trail of red liquid in the place of the knife. I screamed, hoping to wake Jen or Eddie up. They didn't stir an inch. I saw Rufus' eyes glint with happiness as he saw my distress. He took the sharp blade this time pressing it into my cheek. The pain coursed through me, making me cry and shriek.
I closed my eyes and flicked them open again to see a concerned Eddie and a worried Jen with a few of the flight attendants surrounding me with medicine.
"What?" I whispered. That was all a dream? I felt my cheek for any sign of cuts. None.My leg? Nothing. But it seemed so real... I was handed to Advil's and water while Eddie rubbed my back.
"Want to talk about it?" Jen asked. I shook my head. I couldn't relive that, even in words. She nodded and stared out the window.
"OMG!" She yelled, giving my earlier headache a giant thump. I pressed my hand against my forehead while Eddie checked out the window to see what Jen was on about.
"OMG!" He shouted. The ringing started up again and continued as Jen and Eddie pranced about like idiots. The only thing that could make them this happy...
"OMG!" I screamed. WERE IN AMERICA!I joined them dancing about until we had to put our seatbelts back on as we were descending. My earlier nightmare forgotten completely. My thoughts were now rammed with designs, Dior, home.
